Since the near record setting cold weather set in a few days ago, the XC has had it's engine fan running for an unusually long period of time. In twenty degree weather after the engine's been turned off, the engine/radiator fan will run for about 2-3 minutes. It's set a cooling related code, don't remember what it was but it pertained to coolant input level too low. Not coolant level, coolant input level as in electrically related. I'm pointing fingers at the coolant temp sensor and while I'm at it I'll be replacing the stat. What I have yet to find is the coolant temp sensor. Wasn't it on the stat housing in the 850's? Where did they move it too?
